• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The ozone layer is present in the lower parts of the stratosphere. It absorbs all the ultraviolet radiations and does not allow them to reach earth's surface, thus protecting all living organisms from the harmful effects of UV radiations. The ozone layer absorbs the radiation and maintains the natural cycle of oxygen and ozone.
